Joanie & Marc -
We're so sorry to hear about Jay. He was such a tremendous help, building my deck and patio. I appreciated everything Jay did for me around my house.
Mom and I appreciated it so much when you and Jay came back for dad's funeral. I only wish we could do the same.
There are so many wonderful memories and he will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Barry, Jan and Kathy
